       They're in /opt/mbse/share/int/txtfiles/en, for the English language ones.   
   They get installed as, for instance, txtfiles-en.tar in /usr/share/mbsebbs/int   
   and during the post install that gets install to the MBBS directory if it is   
   not already present.  I.E.;  during a new install.   I did it that way so that   
   upgrades will provide new versions of the files without actually affecting the   
   files that the sysop is actually using.

       What do you mean?  That's where most everything is going, though I hope to   
   do some testing later on with a more standard layout instead of using   
   /opt/mbse.  (Very doubtful that we could get it into a standard distribution   
   otherwise...)   
      
       The html directory gets installed to   
   /usr/share/doc/mbsebbs, with a softlink to there from /opt/mbse/html.  The doc   
   directory being like that is standard for a Debian based system, and the   
   softlink is for those who might be familiar with MBSE BBS from a source   
   compiled install.  There is also a directory with example files that are   
   installed to /usr/share/doc/mbsebbs/examples.   
      
       The /usr/share/mbsebbs directory is where the standard language, menu,   
   template, and txtfiles are installed;  if not already present, like during a   
   new install, those get copied to the usual mbse directories.   
      
        If all that isn't happening, I need to know...
